Hi! I'm having this problem with deleting an entry from my ldap database. Here is what I'm doing: # search for the entry $ ldapsearch -ZZWx '(mail=*uzem*)' Enter LDAP Password: [...] dn:: Y249w5x6ZW1lbHRldMO1IEJyaWfDoWQsY249ZGFuaWVsbCxjbj1hZGRyZXNzYm9va3MsZGM9Z WNlbnRydW0sZGM9aHU= [...] # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1
# got the dn, it is encoded in base64, so I'm trying to delete it: $ cat ldap_delete.ldif dn:: Y249w5x6ZW1lbHRldMO1IEJyaWfDoWQsY249ZGFuaWVsbCxjbj1hZGRyZXNzYm9va3MsZGM9Z # ^^ that is one line in the file $ ldapdelete -ZZWx -vf ldap_delete.ldif ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> ) Enter LDAP Password: deleting entry "dn:: Y249w5x6ZW1lbHRldMO1IEJyaWfDoWQsY249ZGFuaWVsbCxjbj1hZGRyZXNzYm9va3MsZGM9Z" ldap_delete: Invalid DN syntax (34) additional info: invalid DN I've tried it without the dn:: prefix too, but it didn't work. Could someone help me with this? Thanks in advance! Daniel -- LEVAI Daniel PGP key ID = 0x4AC0A4B1 Key fingerprint = D037 03B9 C12D D338 4412 2D83 1373 917A 4AC0 A4B1
